Chapter 27
Endo-senpai gave me a mirror to check my face, and there was the same face as when I went to RED staring back at me.
It's still amazing no matter how many times I see it. I took my gaze away from the mirror and turned respectful eyes to Endo-senpai.
Thank you, Rei-chan. Next time, let me buy you something as a thank you.
I'm sure you don't have to worry about it. I like to make up people's faces.
After saying that, Rei-chan started to set my hair.
I curled it with an iron and put the large flower hair ornament I had bought with my yukata the other day in my hair.
I looked at my hair being set in the mirror and then shifted my gaze to Endo-senpai who was setting my hair.
Rei-chan had said that she and Murasaki-sensei were going to watch the fireworks today, but she was still not wearing her yukata or her makeup. The first time I saw Endo without makeup, she looked a little young and cute, unlike the powerful and beautiful woman who is always difficult to approach.
When I first saw her, I did not recognize her as Endo-senpai. Her face was like a different person, so much so that I judged it was Rei-chan by her voice, the clothes she was wearing, and her hair.
She said she looked dull, but I thought Endo-senpai was cute and nice without makeup. When I told Endo-senpai about it, she said, “Stop it, I'm embarrassed,” and smiled cutely.
I saw that Endo-senpai had stopped her hand and I realized that the set was over.
After thanking Endo-senpai over and over again, I put on my geta, which I was not used to wearing, and headed for Toraga's house.
The time now is just four o'clock. The fireworks would start at seven o'clock, so I would spend a little time at Toramasa's house before heading to the summer festival.
I headed to Toramasa's house, repeatedly checking my face and hair with the small hand mirror in my purse.
With my heart pounding, I pressed the intercom and the door immediately opened.
When Toraya saw me, he opened his eyes a little, then immediately narrowed them and smiled.
My heart skipped a beat at the sight of Toraga's smile. What kind of heartbreaking smile does he have? I would want to roll around with joy if I saw that kind of expression on his face.
When I was ushered into Toramasa's house, I gently sat down on the sofa so that my yukata wouldn't fall apart.
I turned my head toward Toramasa, who was also sitting next to me, and with my heart aching with nervousness, I asked him, “How are you doing?” I asked him.
Then Toraga brought his hand to my head to stroke my head, but I guess he thought it would ruin my hair. She stopped in mid-air, then gently lowered her hand and took one of my hands, which was resting on her lap, and gently squeezed it.
I wondered if her blushing cheeks were covered with makeup.
I shifted my gaze from Toraga's face and looked at the necklace around my neck.
It was the one I had given to Toraya as a birthday present the other day.
When I came to the house the other day, I couldn't see it because it was hidden inside my clothes, but now it is outside my clothes and I can clearly see the silver necklace on top of my black clothes.
'…… necklace, you're wearing it.'
The corners of my mouth turn up in happiness when I see it shining silver around Toraga's neck.
The most important thing to remember is that you can't just take a look at the pictures and say, “I'm so happy to be able to wear it. I cover my face with my hands to hide the burning on my face and say, “Thank you, thank you. ……. I managed to say thank you out loud.
We sat on the couch and talked about the past few days. I told them that I had only one more book report to do, that I had picked out a yukata with Ichika when we bought it, that Rei-chan had done my hair and makeup, and so on.
Toraga listened to me as I rambled on and on.
I like talking. And Toramasa is a good listener, so I end up talking a lot. I think it's annoying, but I'm so happy that he's listening to me that I can't stop.
I'm glad you're having a good time.”
I look at Toramasa smiling at me like that and think, “I really like Toramasa. I thought.
What kind of things did you spend your time doing, Toramasa?”
I want to hear Toramasa's story too, since it's all about me.
I asked him about that, and he thought for a while and then answered, “I met Huang Ya at …….” He answered, “With Saionji-senpai?
With Saionji-senpai? What were you doing?
I was previewing his date.
What?
He took me to all sorts of places because he was going out with Hanamiya.
Wow, Mashiro-chan will be so happy to hear that.
That's great, great, great! Ki-kun, you and Hanamiya-san are doing a lot of thinking about each other!
You don't preview a date with a girl you don't care about, do you? That means Ki-kun is totally into Hanamiya-san! Wow! Maybe I should tell this to Hanamiya-san. …… But if I tell Hanamiya-san about this and she becomes aware of it, all my efforts will be lost. ……
Oh, I want to tell Hanamiya-san so badly, but I'll give her a little more time before I tell her!
When I was excitedly thinking about this alone, Toraga muttered to himself, “He's clumsy too.
It's true, Ki-kun receives so much love that he doesn't really know how to give it himself. That's why you were so worried at first because you didn't know how to tell him! Mm-hm!
Hah, I want you two to be in love with each other.”
I went into nosy auntie mode, holding my cheeks with both hands and imagining the two of them in the not-so-distant future.
The two of them wearing wedding dresses and happily meeting Ki-kun at the church ……. A beautiful man and a beautiful woman…wonderful. Their eyes are happy……. Just imagining them makes me want to cry…….
The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the two of them are so close to each other.
I was about to say something as I held his hand, but it didn't come out as words.
Instead, with a troubled expression on his face, he lifted my hand and placed it on his cheek.
I felt Toraga's cheek on my palm. I felt the warmth and touch of Toraga's hand on the back of my hand, and my heart pulsed fast.
I closed my eyes and looked at him as if he was clinging to me, so I brought my other hand up to his cheek.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get a good look at him. I like …….”
Toraya didn't say anything.
Instead, he moved his head as if he were rubbing against my hand.
The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good idea of what you want to do.
'Cute, I like it. I love you, Toramasa. I love you.”
In fact, ever since Toramasa told me he wanted to like me, I had tried not to say I liked Toramasa too much.
I was afraid that by saying I liked him, I would make Toramasa impatient, I would push him, I would hurt him. ……
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your money is to make sure that you are getting the most out of your money.
The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your time is to be honest with yourself.
Toraga is beautiful. Everything is beautiful. I love you, I love you beyond words.”
I said the words over and over again while stroking Toraya's head.
I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll be able to find the right words to express what you feel.
I love you.”
With that one word, I stifled the rest of my emotions.
Time passes as the two of us look at each other in the quiet room, and it ends naturally.
I gently remove my gaze and remove my hand from Toramasa's and ask what we should do when we arrive at the festival. I forced myself to make up a topic and spoke to Toraya.
Toramasa opened his mouth and said, “Well…” I listened to Toramasa's words as he spoke. As I listened to Toramasa's words, I thought back to the summer festival a few hours later.
—–
Time is passing slowly but surely.
It was around five o'clock when I realized this.
I got up from the sofa and headed for the front door with Toramasa, carrying a purse with the bare necessities.
The summer festival was to be held on the riverbank in the next town.
As I headed to the station and boarded the train, I saw women and men in yukata on the train.
I looked up at Toramasa standing next to me from below, thinking in my mind that everyone was heading to the festival.
I realize that Toraya, standing in front of me leaning against the door, is really tall when standing next to me like this.
The official height of Toramasa is 186 cm, so I think he is quite tall. I think he is quite tall, 30cm taller than me. I don't see eye contact when I am standing next to him.
When I shifted my gaze from Toramasa's face to the front of his eyes, I saw the necklace I had given him.
As I looked at the necklace while the train swayed, the train shook violently.
I put all my strength into my body, but my body tilted a little. Toramasa supported my body with his hand, and I was thrilled by such a casual action.
Thank you very much.
I looked at Toraya and he replied with a short “ah” and kept his hand on my body.
I was thrilled by the feel of Toraga's hand on my shoulder, and in no time at all we arrived at our destination.
Don't tell …… that I wished I could have stayed like this a little longer.
The majority of the people on the train got off at the same station. I was so excited to be able to see the newest addition to the family. Toraga walked with his hand on my shoulder and I walked with him.
As we walked in silence, both of us unable to suppress the heat in our faces, we gradually saw more and more people and a few stalls here and there.
I could feel myself getting more and more excited as I saw the stalls. As I scurried around and looked to see what kind of stalls were open, my body naturally almost pulled away from Toraya.
However, I kept a certain distance from Toraya's hand that was pulling my body closer. I glanced at Toraya walking next to me and saw that Toraya was looking around with a deeper crease between his eyebrows than usual.
I thought to myself, “…… maybe Toraya didn't want to come to the festival so much.
I thought so when I saw Toramasa's expression and called out to him, “Toramasa-san.
The first time I saw him, his face turned toward me and his expression seemed to soften just a little bit. I don't know if it's my own wish or not.
The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good time.
I thought you were looking forward to the …… fireworks.”
But Toraga seemed kind of angry…”
Is that true? I asked him fearfully and he replied, “Don't worry about me. Don't worry about me, you can spend your time as you like. He said to me with a softer tone in his voice than before.
If you ever want to leave, just let me know.
I'll call you when I do.”
Toraya's hand reached out from my shoulder and took my hand in his.
I felt a pain in my heart as if my heart was constricted by his big hand holding my hand. I know it is a happy pain, so I endure the pain and gently squeeze Torayaga's hand back, and Torayaga's fingertips are filled with strength.
I can't tell you how happy I am to be able to walk next to Toraya, holding his hand. …… The corners of my mouth naturally turned up, and I held back the tears of happiness that were about to come.
With just his hands alone, Toraga makes me feel happy ……. My heart is warm, my heart aches, and my brain is filled with happiness.
I walked around the stalls, trying not to bump into anyone around me, and my eyes lit up at the many attractive stalls.
What should I do, Toramasa? I want candy apples, takoyaki (octopus dumplings), candy canes, shaved ice, and more!
All I want is food.
Because I'm hungry!
Now that I think about it, I remembered that I had been thinking about the summer festival so much that I hadn't eaten lunch, let alone dinner.
I want to eat something, but now that I'm hungry, everything looks so delicious that I can't stop looking at it.
I was thinking about what to do, and then it hit me.
I thought for a moment and then it hit me: “Toramasa-san, please turn your face a little toward me.”
I said, and Toraya turned his head to me, saying, “Why so suddenly?
When my eyes met Toramasa's, my heart pulsed louder and louder.
Holding my heart with my free hand, I said, “Thank you,” and removed my gaze from Toramasa.
My heart filled up so much at the sight of Toramasa that I will eat less.”
What's that?”
I said, and Toramasa smiled in a funny way.
I felt more full when I saw that smile. It's so cute, so cute.
It's a money-saving technique using love! Toramasa's smile deepened as he continued, “You're really…an idiot, aren't you?
What am I here for? Why don't you just buy one and we can eat it together?
'……! Toramasa…are you a genius?
I looked at Toraya with a shocked expression and he replied, “You're just an idiot. He replied, “You're just stupid.
After that conversation, I got in line at a nearby takoyaki and yakisoba stall, walked around for a while, and bought a bag of cotton candy, candy apples, and kushiyaki (skewers).
As I was buying them, I realized that I had been thinking deeply about Toramasa's words.
Earlier, I didn't think much about Toramasa's words and only thought that I could eat a variety of foods, but sharing with Toramasa meant that we might have an indirect kiss, and no, indeed, in my dream ……, a kiss… I was not thinking of sharing food with Toraga, which means that we might have an indirect kiss, no, indeed, in my dream , a kiss….
I was walking along the riverbank with Toramasa leading me by the hand, thinking about how I should eat the food that was gradually increasing.
There were many families, couples, and men and women of about the same age who were probably there with their friends.
Although there was still some time before the fireworks started, most of the places were already occupied. I took out a handkerchief from my purse, laid it on the ground, and said, “Come in, Toramasa-san,” and told Toramasa with my hand that he could sit down.
Seeing this, Toraga made the deepest crease between his eyebrows today and avoided my handkerchief and sat down on the empty ground, pulling my hand and making me sit on the handkerchief.
Yeah, not what I expected ……! I sat down on the handkerchief, and as I sat down next to him, I turned my lips to Toramasa and asked him, “What can I do for you, Toramasa?
I complained to Toramasa, who was sitting next to me, “I prepared the handkerchief for Toramasa, ……”.
I sat on top of him, and he pouted his lips at me and said, “I prepared it for Toramasa, but you're sitting there.
I'm not sure if it's normal for you to sit there,” he said.
……Well, you're that kind of guy, aren't you?”
“I should have brought a leisure sheet instead of saying handkerchief. …… A lifetime of blunders …….”
Tora Masa's clothes got dirty…….
His shoulders slumped in regret.
Your feelings are enough for me.”
'It is …… cunning. If you say so, I will not be able to say anything.”
I looked at Toraya as his hand left my head.
I was so excited to see him. I pointed to the takoyaki.
I took the takoyaki and said, “Itadakimasu,” and broke the takoyaki in half and put it in my mouth.
The takoyaki was a little cold, but since I have a cat tongue, it was just right.
While I was chewing one half of the takoyaki, Toramasa took one and put it in his mouth, and by the time I put the other half in my mouth, he was eating the second takoyaki.
I thought the same thing when I ate the pancake and on my birthday the other day, but he eats fast. No, maybe I'm just slow. ……
I gently moved the container of takoyaki towards Toramasa so that he could easily pick it up and looked at his face to watch Toramasa's takoyaki predation scene.
My heart pounded with excitement and emotion as I watched Toramasa take and eat another takoyaki.
I also like Toraya when he is really eating food. He is trying to live. I know I have said this many times, but I am moved when I see him trying to live. I love it. He's so cool.
Just looking at Toraga is making me full, so it might be good for my diet. Toraga diet. What a wonderful sound.
Toraya is really good looking no matter what he does.”
Toraya then pressed my cheek with his index finger. Of course, he was pressing my cheek so that it wouldn't hurt, but I'm sure I'm making a funny face right now because he's pressing my cheek with his finger. I am so embarrassed.
However, Toramasa took his mind off of me and said, “I've been thinking about this for a while, but you are so soft,” and started to play with my cheeks, squeezing them.
I don't mind at all because Toraga seems to be enjoying himself. I don't mind at all if he makes funny faces. In fact, please do it more, it's a reward.
Oh, but wait a minute, the makeup Rei-chan did on me is falling off! It's only falling off where I touch my index finger!
This art that Rei-chan worked so hard on is ……!
I turned my face in the opposite direction of Toramasa's finger to escape from him.
As I did so, Toramasa said to me in a happy tone of voice, “Hey, I won't do it again, turn this way.” I was so happy to hear his voice.
Is …… sure?”
Yeah, I won't do it.
Are you sure about that?
Yes, I'm sure.
Toramasa said with a lot of confidence. I believed his words and turned toward him fearfully, and as if he was waiting for me, his index finger came to my cheek.
Bueh!”
I let out a strange voice unintentionally, and Toraya laughed out loud at the same time.
I was so happy, I didn't care if my makeup fell off as long as Toraga laughed at me. That's right, makeup will eventually fall off. I'm sorry to see the makeup that Rei-chan worked so hard on come off, but I'm sure she'll forgive me if I ask her why.
Yes, Toraga is smiling at me again today. I'm glad. Thank you. I'm the happiest I've ever been today.
After a while, he removed his fingers from my cheeks and said, “I'm sorry, I'm sorry. After a few moments, he removed his finger from my cheek and gently patted me on the back as if to say, “I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
No, no, if it makes you happy, I'll give you my cheek anytime,” I said to him in my mind. I started to eat the takoyaki as I told Toramasa in my mind.
After finishing the takoyaki, I went on to the yakisoba and then the kushiyaki, but I was fuller than I thought I would be, so I took only one bite of the kushiyaki and the rest ended up in Toramasa's stomach.
As I was about to eat the cotton candy, I heard a man's voice from behind me saying, “Mr. Kurotetsu? I heard a man's voice behind me.
I turned around to see a man standing behind us, who looked like a yankee.
Moreover, there were several men and women behind him, and they were saying, “I knew it! I can hear them saying, “It's really Kurotetsu-senpai! I heard voices saying, “I knew it!
Let me tell you something first. I am afraid of Yankees. No, it's just that Toraga is special, and I'm just a person who has never been involved with delinquents or yankees, and I don't even want to be involved with them.
Wow, I'm scared. Delinquents…yankees, gals …… are scary …….
I gently put my face back in front of me to remove my presence and tried to sneakily eavesdrop on the conversation between Toraya and that person.
However, the person who spoke to Toraga said, “Are you his girlfriend?” I thought I had to say something about that, so I turned my face toward the Yankee again.
I turned my face toward the Yankee again. Toramasa opened his mouth before I could say, “No, it's not her.
No, it's still different.
What? Does that mean it's just the beginning?
Not yet? Not yet? Eh, eh…”
It can't be helped that I unintentionally talked to Toraga together with Yankee-san. This can't be helped.
As I turned my surprised expression toward Toraya, Toraya turned her face to me and said, “No, no?” and I unintentionally shook my head in reflex.
However, when I thought about Toraga's words carefully, that is to say, that is what he is declaring that he will be my girlfriend later on …….
I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not. The actual “I'm sorry for interrupting you,” he said after exchanging a few words with the Yankee. and returned to the group of men and women who were a short distance away.
I looked up with my hands to take the heat out of my face and kept my gaze forward, not knowing what to say, so I kept silent and just kept moving my hands.
Do you want some ……?”
Toramasa was the first to open his mouth.
I shook my head as he showed me the bag of cotton candy and asked me if I wanted some.
Toramasa opened the bag and held it out to me. I shredded a mouthful of cotton candy from the bag with my finger and put it in my mouth.
The sweetness of the cotton candy spreads in my mouth. I had forgotten what cotton candy tastes like since I only eat it during festivals, but I was so surprised by its sweetness that I involuntarily uttered, “It's sweet. I was so surprised at the sweetness of the cotton candy that I involuntarily said, “It's sweet,” and looked at Toramasa.
Toramasa had just put some cotton candy in his mouth, and he looked at me and reacted in a similar way, saying, “It's sweet.
We both proceeded to eat the cotton candy, and when it was down to half, I gave up and asked Toramasa to eat the rest.
I'm sorry I couldn't eat it at all, even though I said I wanted to.
I'm sorry, Toramasa…my stomach is at its limit. ……
I told him, “It's better than forcing yourself to eat.” I was so moved by his kind words that I worshipped Toramasa.
I still have some candy apples left, but I'll get to that later. I was thirsty from all the salty food I had eaten. ……
I'm getting thirsty, Toraga-san, so I'll go buy you a drink. What would you like to drink, Toraga-san?”
I was about to get up, remembering that there must have been a place nearby that sold drinks, when Toraga pulled on my arm to stop me.
I blinked and shook my head.
I blinked and shook my head. “There are more people now, and I'll go! I'm sure there will be a line, so you wait for me, Toramasa.”
I blinked and shook my head.
I'll go,” he said, “even more so.
Besides, I'm afraid I'll get lost,” he added. I couldn't say anything because I couldn't say with pride that I wouldn't get lost.
Seeing me like this, Toramasa took his finger off my cheek and stood up, asking me what I wanted.
I replied with a bowed head, “If you have something sweet to drink, I'll have that…” Toramasa said, “All right,” and walked toward the stall.
I bowed my head as I watched Toraya's back and let out a small sigh of apology.
Without Toramasa, time passes more slowly.
Having nothing to do on my own, I took out my cell phone, checked the time, and spent some time watching the Internet news.
As I watched the news, I thought to myself, “Toramasa is late….
I wondered if the late return time meant that the crowds were still too big, or if I knew someone, or if I got lost, or if I was being reverse-annered. ……
When we went to the beach, I was only in the restroom for a little while and they were trying to reverse the situation, so it's very possible that they were trying to reverse the situation.
Toraga is cool. I understand. I understand it so much. The girls in the world won't shut up about it.
As I nodded my head and waited for Toramasa, a group of guys sat down in the empty space next to me, drinks in hand and in high spirits.
Yankees, delinquents, gals, and now Parisians. ……
As I was playing with my cell phone again, they suddenly spoke to me, saying, “Sister, sister, sister.
I shook my shoulders and looked at the man who spoke to me.
Yes…?”
He said, “Your sister is so cute. You are my type!
When the man said that, the rest of the men all laughed at once and said, “You're hitting on me again! and talking to the guy.
I was about to turn my head to look at my cell phone again, but I guess it was convenient for them that I was nearby and alone, because they asked me, “Do you want a drink? He doesn't have a girlfriend right now! He doesn't have a girlfriend right now! How old is she? How old is your sister?
I am sure they would not have talked to me as much as they did if I had been wearing no makeup.
I was waiting for Toramasa to arrive, smiling and thinking to myself, “I'm wearing gal makeup, so they're probably more interested in me than I am in them. ……
While I was listening to their conversation while looking at my cell phone, I heard an angry voice from behind us saying, “Hey! I quickly turned my back to the voice and there it was.
I quickly turned around and there he was, the man I had been waiting to meet, Toraga.
Toraga-san.”
I called out to him reassuringly, and he entered between me and the man and sat down there.
'…… sorry, I should have gone with you.'
'No, no, it was fine, don't apologize.'
Toraga let out a sigh as he handed me the juice he had bought.
I smiled at Toraya, who turned his head toward me and said, “Thank you very much for buying it for me.” I smiled at him.
I smiled at him and said, “Was there a lot of people there after all?
I smiled at him.
Did you get lost?
“Of course not.”
Toramasa answered my question with a smile. I was relieved to see him smiling at me and said, “That's great, Toramasa-san. I smiled again.
While I was talking with Toramasa, the men sitting next to him were gone before I knew it.
I felt somewhat sorry and apologized in my heart to the men I would never see again.
At that moment, an announcement was made that the fireworks were about to start.
I was surprised that so much time had already passed, but at the same time, the reality of being able to see the fireworks with Toramasa came to my mind, and the combination of the excitement of the fireworks and the excitement of being with Toramasa made my tension soar.
I was so excited to see the fireworks.
I know.
I'm so excited! What to do, what to do, what to do?
While I was saying that, the first fireworks started.
The sound and the light made me turn my eyes toward the fireworks and I just watched the numerous fireworks floating in the sky.
The loud sound of the fireworks made my body tremble, and the flowers of light filled my vision.
When I was here with my friends, I used to watch the fireworks while walking around, so I hadn't seen them this closely since I was in elementary school with my family. There were few clouds in the sky today. The wind was blowing, so the smoke was flowing and I could see the fireworks beautifully.
It was the day of the game event. I was able to see the fireworks with Toramasa under such perfect conditions.
While watching the fireworks, I remembered a still from the game. I remember a still of the two of them looking at each other with the fireworks in the background. Thinking of this, I moved my gaze toward Toramasa who was sitting next to me.
At that moment, our gazes met.
From the way Toraya looked at me, I knew that he was looking not at the fireworks but at me before I looked at him.
Toramasa looked at me with a thin smile on his face.
The sight of his face lit up by the fireworks was like a scene from a movie and I momentarily forgot about the sound.
I love …….
The corner of my mouth naturally turns up at the thought of liking being reaffirmed over and over again.
The distance between you and Toraga is so close that you can almost touch him if you move just a little bit.
I could have touched him if I reached out my hand, but I didn't. Instead, I said “I love you” out loud in my vision, which was distorted by emotion.
I know he can't hear me over the noise of the fireworks. I know he couldn't hear me over the sound of the fireworks, but he was Toramasa, so I think he understood what I said.
I'm sorry, I'm trying to hold back as much as I can, but these words keep coming out at the drop of a hat.
As I looked at Toraya, apologizing in my mind, he smiled deeply, as if to say, “I know,” and put his hand on my shoulder and pulled me toward him.
Toraya's large hands touching my shoulders and our bodies in close contact.
My nerves are so focused on Toraya that I don't even care about the summer heat.
My heart was pounding and my face was bright red and hot, but I was so happy to be able to touch Toramasa in this way that I relaxed a little and let myself touch Toramasa as if I were leaning in close to him.
After that, until the fireworks were over, all I could see were the fireworks. I wanted to remember this happiness. I want to remember the fireworks.
—-
After the fireworks were over, I was being taken home by Toramasa.
I really wanted to stay at Toraya's house today, but I had to leave early in the morning to go to my grandmother's house in the country tomorrow.
I had already told Toraya that I would not be home for the next five days.
I told him that I would call and text him as we walked to the house. I told him that I would call and text him as I walked home, but even as I said it, I felt somewhat lonely and almost started to cry.
Seeing me like that, Toraga told me to come home when I got back, and I was so happy to hear that that I almost cried even more.
I wanted to stay by Toraya's side as much as possible, so I kept him at bay, saying things like, “Take care of yourself,” and “You were looking good today, too. I wanted to stay with him as long as I could, so I tried to keep him there by saying things like, “Take care of yourself,” and “You looked great today.
I was so sorry and so in love with him that I felt like I was about to explode with emotion.
I let out a breath that resembles a sigh instead of words as I swallow the words, “I'm sorry I kept you at ……. Thank you for taking me home.”
'Don't worry about that.'
'Ugh, Toraga-san, you're really sweet ……, I'm going to miss you …….'
The tears that I had been holding back slowly seeped out at the same time as I said the words.
I tried my best not to cry as I was wrapped in Toraga's arms and put strength into my eyes. Even so, I couldn't hold back a single tear and it spilled out.
I wiped it away with my index finger, and after a while, Toraya's body pulled away.
The body that had been touching Toraga's was screaming that it wanted to touch Toraga more.
I miss you so much, I wish I could be by your side more. …… The most important thing to remember is that you don't have to look in the mirror to see that your brow naturally wrinkles up into a troubled, anxious expression.
The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what is going on in your life.
Good night, Toramasa.”
…… ah, good night.”
The first thing to do is to make sure that you have a good time.
